Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-25

Category 2

WHAT
Category 2 conditions are forecast, mainly due to moderate tide levels and slightly below-normal pressure. Winds are onshore but not significant enough to contribute to flood concerns.

WHEN
Peak tidal levels are expected around 4:30 AM and again near 5:06 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Today’s classification is driven mostly by the moderate astronomical tide and somewhat lower-than-normal atmospheric pressure. Onshore wind did not substantially affect flood risk. All forecast models agree on Category 2.

Day 2: 2026-09-26

Category 2

WHAT
Category 2 conditions persist, primarily from moderate tides. Pressure is near or above normal, and winds are minimal, keeping flood risk low.

WHEN
Highest tides occur around 5:12 AM and again at about 5:30 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The tide is the key factor today, with pressure remaining fairly normal and wind having negligible onshore influence. All models agree on Category 2 with no higher tail risk.

Day 3: 2026-09-27

Category 2

WHAT
Another Category 2 day, again dominated by moderate tide levels and near-normal pressure. Winds are light and generally not pushing water onshore.

WHEN
Peak tide levels arrive near 6:00 AM and again around 5:54 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tide remains the primary influence. Pressure offers a small positive contribution, and wind is mostly offshore. The ensemble suggests a stable Category 2 outlook.
